Song by David Bowie & Brian Eno (1995) Arranged by Chappell Kingsland Part of the Wild Beautiful Music Halloween Series
“Hallo Spaceboy” is one of David Bowie’s most explosive 1990s tracks, blending industrial rock grit with a sense of chaos and urgency. Its restless energy and surreal, fragmented lyrics capture a world hurtling forward, both disorienting and exhilarating. This arrangement for vocalists and chamber orchestra keeps the techno sound as the foundation, adding dazzling new layers of orchestral virtuosity on top.
Premiere: Oct. 2023 – Denver, Colorado Rachel Winnick, Chappell Kingsland and Wild Beautiful Orchestra conducted by Taylor Gonzales
